Literally, he whose consciousness has become intelligence, or buddhi. Those who need but one more incarnation to become perfect buddhas. As used in these letters the Bodhisattva is the name of the office which is at present occupied by the Lord Maitreya, who is known in the occident as the Christ. This office might be translated as that of World Teacher. The Bodhisattva is the Head of all the religions of the world, and the Master of the Masters and of the angels. - Glossary
Dr. Suzuki, Professor of Zen Buddhism at the Buddhist College at Kyoto, tells us about it in the following illuminating paragraphs. He tells us that it was through "supreme perfect knowledge" that the Buddha arrived at the wisdom which changed him from a Bodhisattva into a Buddha. This knowledge is
"...a faculty both intellectual and spiritual, through the operation of which the soul is enabled to break the fetters of intellection. The latter is always dualistic inasmuch as it is cognizant of subject and object, but in the Prajna which is exercised 'in unison with one-thought-viewing' there is no separation between knower and known, these are all viewed in one thought, and enlightenment is the outcome of this...

Group two has the World Teacher for its presiding Head. He is that Great Being whom the Christian calls the Christ; he is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as the Lord Maitreya, and is the one looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the name of the Iman Madhi. IHS, p 43
The Departmental Heads
The Manu.
The Bodhisattva.
The Mahachohan.
As has been said, these three great Beings, represent the triplicity of all manifestation, and might be expressed under the following form, remembering that all this deals with subjectivity, and therefore with the evolution of consciousness and primarily with self-consciousness in man. IHS, p 109
The Rod of the Bodhisattva lies hidden in the "heart of the wisdom," that is, at Shamballa. IHS, p 130
The Bodhisattva or World Teacher works with the evolving life within the form, with the implanting of religious ideas and with the development of philosophical concepts both in individuals and races. IHS, p 167
Line of the Manu - Force, Strength, Power to rule.
Line of the Bodhisattva - Magnetism, Attraction, Healing.
Line of the Mahachohan - Electricity, Synthesis, Organization. LOM, p 169
The Line of the Bodhisattva
This is the line of religion and of philosophy, and of the development of the indwelling life. It deals with consciousness within the form more than with the form itself. It is the line of least resistance for the many. It embodies the wisdom aspect of the Logos, and is the line whereby His love is manifested in a predominant fashion. LOM p, 171
The mantrams used:
By the Manu, in manipulating that which is necessary in the moving of continents, and the submerging of lands.
By the Bodhisattva, in stimulating the inner flame in each human being.
By the Mahachohan, in His work with the intelligence, or the fifth principle. LOM, p 189
In connection with one of the Heavenly Men (which one cannot at this juncture be pointed out) we have one triangle of force to be seen in the following three centers:
The force center of which the Manu, and His group, are the expression.
The center of which the Bodhisattva or the Christ and His adherents are the focal point.
The center of which the Mahachohan and his followers are the exponents.
These three groups form the three centers in one great triangle - a triangle which is not yet in complete vivification at this stage of evolutionary development. EA, p 687
The two major Full Moon Approaches will be those of the Wesak Full Moon and the Full Moon of June - one hitherto consecrated to the Buddha Who embodied the wisdom of God, and the other to the Bodhisattva (known to Christians as the Christ) Who embodied the love of God. EOH, p 55
We should study likewise in this connection the value of touch as demonstrated by the healers of the race (those on the Bodhisattva line) and the effect of the Law of Attraction and Repulsion as thus manipulated by them. Students of etymology will have noted that the origin of the word touch is somewhat obscure, but probably means to "draw with quick motion". Herein lies the whole secret of this objective solar system, and herein will be demonstrated the quickening of vibration by means of touch. TOCF, 197 The Masters, in concert with the great Devas, concern Themselves with this transmutative process, and each department might be considered as dealing with one of the three stages:
The Mahachohan's department in its five divisions deals with the burning of the fiery lives.
The Manu's department concerns itself with the form or the ring-pass-not which encloses the burning lives.
The Bodhisattva's department deals with the return of the Son to the bosom of the Father. TOCF, p 484
Again, when a man has become a disciple he may, if he so wish, remain upon the astral plane and work there, and - at his pleasure, and under the adjustment of karma by his Guru - he may take immediate physical birth. A hint as to the mystery of the Bodhisattva may be found in these two thoughts, provided the student transfers the whole concept to the etheric levels of the cosmic physical plane, and remembers that on these levels the adept works altogether as a part of a group, and not as a separated Identity, as does the ego in the three worlds. TOCF, p 750
